Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday celebrated Diwali with Border Security Force (BSF) personnel deployed in Kutch, Gujarat. The Prime Minister, in BSF uniform, distributed sweets among Army, Navy and Air Force personnel at Lakki Nala in Sir Creek area in Kutch. Since coming to power in 2014, PM Modi has made it a tradition to celebrate Diwali with military personnel at various places in the country. Every year, Modi visits military facilities, where he interacts with soldiers and celebrates festivals.
Modi celebrated Diwali with BSF troops, while troops from India and China exchanged sweets on the occasion at several border points along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) on Thursday. The traditional practice was observed a day after both countries completed disengagement of troops at two friction points in Demchok and Depsang plains in eastern Ladakh, bringing a new thaw in China-India ties.
Earlier in the day, the Prime Minister wished the people of India a happy Diwali in an ex post. He posted on Instagram, “Wishing the countrymen a very Happy Diwali. On this divine festival of lights, I wish everyone a healthy, happy and prosperous life. May everyone be blessed with the blessings of Maa Lakshmi and Lord Shri Ganesha. “
